Herman, the 225th pick in last year's draft, spent his rookie season on the practice squad. He claims the suspension resulted from medication he takes for a "condition." Herman can return in Week 5 if he makes the team. Fri, Aug 8, 2014 01:05:00 PM

Herman has NFL-size at 6-foot-4, 320 pounds, but has stubby 32 1/4-inch arms. He managed 36 bench-press reps at the Combine, but is not a high-end athlete, even for a guard. The Giants are undertaking a youth movement along their offensive line, but Herman's best bet is the practice squad. Wed, May 22, 2013 04:38:00 PM

Giants selected Ohio G Eric Herman with the No. 225 overall pick.

Herman (6-foot-4 1/8, 320) started 51 games for the Bobcats, mostly at right guard. Short arms (32 1/4") will keep Herman on the interior in the pros. At the Combine, Herman repped 225 pounds 36 times on the bench but was below average in athletic testing. The Giants continue to try to get younger on the interior of their line with Chris Snee entering his age-31 season. Sat, Apr 27, 2013 06:24:00 PM

NJ.com considers Victor Cruz's 2015 production off a patellar tendon tear a "crapshoot."

Cruz is five months removed from surgery and he's "nowhere near" ready for football action. The Giants hope to be able to ease him in at training camp in August, but that's far from a given. And even once Cruz does get back, the concern is that he won't have the short-area quicks that made him so effective in the slot. Patellar tears are far rarer and more difficult to overcome than ACL tears.
